Poetry: I (Who Am I)

Umar
Has heard that cats and dogs can rain
Umar
Heard

Umar
Thinks it’s a funny joke but doesn’t laugh
Umar
Smirked

Umar
Dared nature for another cat and dog show
Umar
Plots

Umar
Got wet and was applauded by thunder claps
Umar
Marvelled

Umar
=====================================================
“Goodness!”
Dad screamed when I came.
“Blessing;
My twin crystal, he said.”

I
Scintillated good tidings connectable to
Blessing.
Everyone marvelled; onlookers, relations, nature…

Although
A little lad laid low
Blessing
Stared at life with glamour

Phew!
Is life all there is?
Blessing
Saw life early. Try to.

is just the perfect name for a good boy

I am me
Noel,
Noel-
that humble lad who brings joy to his kin

chant the name
Noel!
Noel!
and you would be amazed how sweet it tastes

Just one try
Noel!
Noel!
now, can you taste the smile creasing your chin?

Noel
